The new XC-72 pushes its classic sources of inspiration even further into unexplored territory, with a time-bending design inspired by the speculative technological optimism of 1970s concept cars. Three distinctive traction outsole patterns and angular features are employed to give the familiar low-cut sleekness of the era’s running shoes an aggressive, experimental edge. The XC-72 is the future that the past dreamed about, come to life.

• CR featuring the 620's herringbone outsole pattern.

• Crinkle nylon upper with chrome-free suede overlay. Chrome-free leather does not use chromium in the tanning process, which can be harmful to people and the environment when the leather is disposed.

• Single layer microfiber tongue.

• Squared toe shape inspired by 1970s concept car designs.

• Vertically split outsole features two hard ground traction designs the XC15's 'gripper' and the 375's studded pattern.
